"Smoking a pack
a day in Maryland costs you more than $1,575 a year!" -taken from smokingstopshere.com,
a website in Maryland used to stop people from smoking. This
is one of their reasons they use to deter tobacco use. Do they
realize that they make smoking so expensive?
New York City... Average
price of a pack of cigarettes... ALMOST $7.00!!!!!! Stop taking
advantage of the addiction!
Chicago Doctors want
to add an immediate $2.00 tax to packs of cigarettes. WHY?
All this discussion
about the recent Bush tax cuts,... supposedly to help the economy...
How many people in the US smoke? MILLIONS...image the money in
our pockets if they left us alone with all these damn tax increases
on tobacco.
Can't smoke here, can't
smoke there, where can we smoke? How interesting is it that smoking
offends others around me? I don't see anyone adding a tax to
spandex... And we all know that those that wear spandex SHOULDN'T
be! I know, i know... wearing spandex doesn't cause ill health
effects right? What about my mental health after seeing that
god awful site?
Wait... how about a
tax or ban on Big Macs??? I think we should have a $10 tax on
all Big Mac sandwiches... Lets take advantage of the fast food
addiction. Obesity is a national problem, yet we don't tax the
hell outta those that visit a fast food restaurent.
For you non-smokers
out there that have found my site and are laughing at me and
calling me a fool... Try doing something you enjoy, then pay
double for it, then in 6 months double the price again... Then
watch the ads on TV and see how awful of a person you are because
of that thing you enjoy. How would you feel if you weren't allowed
in a restaurent because you DIDN'T smoke? Smokers are under attackf,
and thats just not right.
I'm just now starting
this site and will add links and such as I see fit. Feel free
to sign my guestbook
below or email me here.
Please spread the word about this website, the more exposure
we can get as smokers, the better. |
